May the Best Man Win by Z.R. Ellor

3.0

I thought it was a good high school lovers to enemies to friends to lovers story with a trans twist. I think they handled transphobia and dead names really cleverly and the balance of Jermey's personality vs his dysphoria causing friction in his relationships was interesting. A lot of his problems come from him being a drama king vs his friends having issues with him being trans.

It did drag a bit towards the end of the 2nd act and the rivalry seemed unnecessarily aggressive and cut throat although the author tried their best to make the stakes high... but in the end it's who gets crowned homecoming king soooo the stakes can only be so high. But overall it was a cute and easy read. If you like a queer high school romance this definitely is up your ally.
